The Odyssee tells the story of Odysseus, the undaunted hero.
In times long ago the blind poet Homer wrote this famous epic.
The Odyssey follows the Iliad, the story of the bloody war between the Greek and the Trojans. This battle endsafter ten years thanks to the Odysseys famous trick. the Trojan Horse.
The Odyssey is not a war epic, but a story about perseverance, loyalty, adventure, and the survival instinct of its ingenious hero.
In The Odyssey, Homer describes howOdysseus, the king of Ithaca, had to endure another ten years of affliction after the ten years of war in Troy before he could finally return to his home land.
During those years, his wife, Penelope, had to try and keep her many admirers away.These men not only wanted het hand but also the kingship. To prove her husbands worth, she played a trick: As soon as I have finished weaving this shroud for my father-in-law, Laertes, I will choose one of you to become my husband, she promisedthem.
But during the night, she secretly loosened what she had woven during the day, prolonging the time until Odysseus would finally return. After twenty long years, when he finally stood at the door, she wondered: Is this really my husband? Ishe an imposter? Cunningly, she asked him to move the bed, because only she and her husband know that the bed was immovable and was build around an old three trunk! Odysseus was deeply moved: this really was his wife, his Penelope!
Nearly threethousands years later, the loyalty and strength of this character, and all the dangerous adventures that Odysseus survived thanks to courage and intelligence, still moves us today.

Odyssee by Jan Bosveld is not just an adventure story, butrather a characteristic piece in which memories of Homers story can be heard.
The composition opens with a firm, stirring theme describing our hero, Odysseus, in detail: This man is not to be taken lightly.
The further development of thisshort introduction completes this character sketch: trustworthy, perseverant, and a genius.
After that we can picture Odysseus on the lonely beach of Ogygia. Do the trumpets depict his memories of the war of Troy? Does he think of his wife, as werecognise the weaving loom of Penelope in the murmuring eighth?
In the solemn, plaintive part that follows, we can imagine Penelope feeling lonely, sitting in the womens room with her servants.One of the girls plays the harp, but that does notclear the sombre atmosphere. Then we can imagine seeing the sorceress Circe, who changed Odysseus men into swine. After she gives a simple magic sign something follows that reminds us of the sound of pigs grunting. Then the Odysseus theme resounds:the hero comes to savi his comrades. Assisted by Hermes, he forces Circe to lift the spell.
The piece ends the same way as it began, with an animated theme: Odysseus is still the same, undefeated and not to be taken lighty!

Het muzikale relaas van de Griekse schrijver Homerus over de held Odyssee in een karakterstuk vol herinneringen.
Een stevig opgewekt thema symboliseert de grootsheid van Odyssee en zijn karaktertrekken - betrouwbaar, volhardenden vernuftig. De tegenslagen welke hij tegenkomt en in het tweede tragische gedeelte dreigen te escaleren, nemen in het derde snelle gedeelte bij zijn verschijning toch weer een positieve wending.
Nijmegenaar Jan Bosveld bewijstin dit originele werk dat hij op de hoogte is van de onmogelijkheden, maar vooral de ongekende mogelijkheden van muzikanten uit de lagere afdelingen.

Don Quichote de la Mancha is a tasteful musical adaptation of the famous novel by Miguel de Cervantes in four lively movements: The first movement presents the wise nobleman Don Quixote, and in the second movement we see Dulcinea, with whom the Don has an imaginary romance. The third movement deals with Don Quixote’s loyal servant, Sancho Panza, and in the fourth movement we meet Rocinante, the Don’s long-suffering horse!

Wie kent niet zijn gevecht tegen de windmolens? De edelman Don Quichote verkeert in de waan dat hij het onrecht in de wereld moet bestrijden. Met zijn strijdros Rosinante, zijn liefde voor jonkvrouw Dulcinea en zijn schildknaap SanchoPanza trekt hij de wereld in en beleeft allerlei opmerkelijke avonturen.Deel 1: Don Quichote, deel 2: Dulcinea, deel 3: Sancho Panza, deel 4: Rosinante

Don Quichote de la Mancha erzählt den berühmten Roman von Miguel de Cervantes in vier Sätzen auf lebendige musikalisch nach: Der erste Satz stellt den klugen Edelmann Don Quichote vor. Im zweiten Satz erscheint Dulcinea, mit der Don Quichote eine eingebildete Romanze hat. Der dritte Satz handelt vom treuen, einfachen Knecht Sancho Pansa und der vierte Satz schließlich vom Pferd Rosinante, das mit seinem Herrn, der oft mehr auf der Erde als auf ihrem Rücken sitzt, viel mitmachen muss.

Don Quichote de la Mancha se compose de quatre pièces courtes (Don Quichote, l’ingénieux noble espagnol - Dulcinée : qu’il ne rencontrera jamais, est l’élue de son coeur qui il jure amour et fidélité - Sancho Panza : le serviteur loyal et juste l’ me sensible - Rocinante : la monture qui a beaucoup de mal supporter un cavalier qui passe plus de temps terre qu’en selle). Don Quichote de la Mancha est une oeuvre généreuse aux accents hispaniques.

Don Quichote de la Mancha si compone di quattro brevi pezzi (Don Quichote, il geniale nobile spagnolo - Dulcinée: non si incontreranno mai, è la scelta del suo cuore a cui giura amore e lealt - Sancho Panza: il servo fedele e giusto dall’anima sensibile - Rocinante: il cavallo, che sta lottando per sopportare un cavaliere che passa più tempo a terra che in sella). Don Quichote de la Mancha è un’ouverture generosa dagli accenti ispanici.
